At least with the Russians it’s about economics, rather than expanding a Moon-Cult as with the Muslims.
It's more about them seeking to expand their power and influence and wanting to replace the US as top superpower. And there has been no better time than the present for them to make the major moves they're making today. And they still have over a year with Comrade Obama in charge to do lots more.
Personally, I can’t think of people I care less about.
I hope that Bibi went to Moscow and said as long as we don’t have crossed interests...have a ball. And Vladimir probably asked him to not shoot at his planes (right away.)
